-Valentina Shevchenko: Check out this MMA math equation: Cat Zingano beats Amanda Nunes in 2014. Julianna Pena beats Zingano in 2016. Shevchenko beats Pena in 2017. So that’s why I’m pick Shevchenko to win. Haha just kidding. So Amanda Nunes. She’s a high octane, one in a half round fighter. Meaning that offensive output in […]
Chris
Volkov vs Struve, Bahadurzada vs Wilkinson, Reneau vs Bernardo Fight Picks
Stefan Struve: I don’t really buy into “MMA math” but I found the following links interesting: Alexander Volkov won a split decision against Tim Johnson.Tim Johnson won a split decision over Daniel Omielanczuk. So it could be possible that Volkov, Johnson, and Omielanczuk for close to the same level. What did Struve do in his […]
Moreno vs Pettis, Grasso vs Markos, Jouban vs Price Fight Picks
-Brandon Moreno: This fight features the 2 flyweights with the best chance to dethrone champion Demetrious Johnson in the next few years. Both Moreno and Sergio Pettis are 23 years old. Pettis is 6-2 in the UFC. Moreno is 3-0 in the UFC. So the fighters are on similar development paths. But I like Moreno […]
Cormier vs Jones 2, Woodley vs Maia, Cyborg vs Evinger Fight Picks
-Jon Jones: Now normally, I’d have no doubt on Jones winning. He’s pretty much undefeated (lone loss is from a bad ref disqualifying him for sideways elbows). Jones has beat Daniel Cormier in their first fight and historically, the fighter that wins the first fight, wins the rematch, most of the time. Plus Jones is […]
Weidman vs Gastelum, Bermudez vs Elkins, Rivera vs Almeida Fight Picks
Kelvin Gastelum: December 12, 2015, Chris Weidman hasn’t been the same. At the time, I had Weidman as the #2 middleweight prospect. Weidman then goes on to dethrone the invincible Anderson Silva. Undefeated. Weidman then defended the belt 3 times against Silva in a rematch, then Machida and Belfort. And then all of a sudden, […]
Nelson vs Ponzinibbio, Carvillo vs Calderwood, Ray vs Felder Fight Picks
-Gunnar Nelson: Very good main event. Santiago Ponzinibbio has quietly put together a nice 6-2 record in the UFC. But Nelson has a similar record at 7-2 and has looked special. Only chinks in the armor Nelson has had was against a very good wrestler in Rick Story and a grappler and submission artist even […]
Romero vs Whittaker, Werdum vs Overeem 3, Pettis vs Miller Fight Picks
-Yoel Romero: Robert Whittaker has really come a long way since losing a split decision to Court McGee back in 2012. He’s an example of fighters at a young age can really develop and improve by leaps and bounds. Now 26 years old, Whittaker is coming into his prime and showed what level he’s at […]
Johnson vs Gaethje, Lima vs Taylor, Diakiese vs Klose Fight Picks
-Justin Gaethje: It’s tempting to pick Michael Johnson in this fight. Especially with how Johnson looked when he knocked out Dustin Poirier. But Gaethje is the #1 lightweight prospect in the world and his debut fight in the UFC is the main event for a reason. Gaethje is going to be too strong and too […]
UFC Oklahoma Predictions
My UFC Oklahoma picks: -Michael Chiesa: Chiesa’s finish over Beneil Duriush really made me a believer that he’s a legit title contender. Mike Lee is very good and might even end up fighting for the title too, but thus far in his career, any time Lee has taken a step up in competition like with […]
UFC Singapore Predictions
UFC Singapore is EARLY tomorrow morning on UFC Fight Pass. First prelim fight is at 430am EST/130am PST. So it’s basically a Netflix, watch it when you can type card haha. Not even I’ll be watching it live. So here’s my picks. -Holly Holm: Very good matchmaking by the UFC to help Holm get back […]
